Another Bloggy Giveaway

Written by Riley on January 28, 2009 in: Musings | Tags:

The last time I participated in the Bloggy Giveaway, I was overwhelmed with responses from people telling me the most bizarre details about themselves, often-body part-related, like a missing toenail, or the like.

So for this Bloggy Giveaway, I’ve decided to make you work for it a little bit more. If you would like to be entered into a giveaway for a $20 Amazon gift certificate (I will email the gift code, so international participants are welcome), then you must link up to my blog on your blog – please use the main blog URL (http://allrileyedup.com) and leave a comment with the permalink.

If you don’t have a blog but still want to participate, you can either subscribe, Stumble, or Digg this, and leave a comment letting me know.

If you do both of these things, then, obviously that’s two entries (double double your enjoy-oy-oy-ment!).

If you don’t want to do any of this and you still leave a comment, hey, be my guest, but if I draw your name, you will never know…

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, and please, leave me another interesting detail about your life in the comments. Those were fun to read!

  • Interesting? We are moving and today I clean - for the moving assessor comes tomorrow to give a quote on the price to do it for me (paid by the company).

  • Okay — here goes:

    1) I can still stand on my head, but I’m sort of old now, so it’s getting a little scary. I think I’ll have to stop one of these days.

    2) I can kick really well — higher than my head, and I’m tall.

    3) I’ve shaken hands with Bill Cosby and Bobby Kennedy.

    4) My kids’ first words were in Japanese.

    5) I can touch my tongue to my nose.

    (Do I get extra chances for five whole things?)

    I mentioned you in my blog but don’t know if that is proper procedure and don’t know what “permalink” means.

    oh, another “interesting” thing about me is that I am kind-of blog stoopid…

    Comment by Jeanette Jackson — January 28, 2009
  • I guess you must be down a ways. I haven’t gotten to you yet. But I did get the email since I’m subscribed and have been for a while. I’ve got you linked on my blog now too (no button?) at http://themomnerd.blogspot.com. On my giveaway I asked that question too (probably got the idea from you a few carnivals ago) and there are definitely some weird ones out there. I never thought about what I would say though. Hmmm, I’m a mommy of twins?

    Comment by Sharla — January 28, 2009

    I put a link to your blog on my newish blog…

    Comment by Hetal G — January 29, 2009
  • I have you at the TOP of my blogroll, so that has to count for something, right? Also I subscribe to you in google reader. Also, I read all your posts and leave the occasional snide comment and still blame you for the fact that my kids are likely to tell me, “You’re the most beautiful mom in the room,” which you must admit is a rather weak compliment ;)

    Interesting fact: um…I’m kind of boring. I asked Donn. He said, “You have hidden depths–so hidden, they’re lost.” Does that count? Also I had 3 kids in 2 years. I had planned to have 2 kids in 3 years, but I was never very good at math.

    Also, my internet connection is spotty these days, so please forgive me for not posting the link. It really is there! You’re in America; go see!

  • Interestingly enough I met you at the pinewood derby. Well, OK, it was the blog carnival version, but still… And it was then I decided to add you to my blogroll anyway, so there. :p

    Oh, and I have this penchant for killing my baby piggie toes by stubbing & maiming them in the most unusual ways… Like the time I tore off a chunk of flesh on the fishtank.
